Mad Money''Mad Money'' is an United States business television program hosted by James Cramer that began airing on the CNBC cable television/satellite television TV channel on Monday, 2005-03-14. Cramer previously co-hosted the CNBC program ''Kudlow & Cramer'' with Lawrence Kudlow. The phrase ''mad money'' originally means the money that a woman takes with her for contingencies when a date ends in a quarrel, but, as with many other expressions, Cramer just gives the phrase a new meaning: it just means that the TV program is "crazy". ''Mad Money'' replaced Dylan Ratigan's ''Bullseye (CNBC)'' for the 6 PM ET time slot. On Tuesday, 2005-05-17, his daughter Emma's 11 birthday, CNBC began airing reruns of the show at 9 PM and midnight Eastern Time. The show is fast-paced with the flambuoyant host in Cramer. Arguably the most famous segment of the show is ''The Lightning Round'', where viewers can call in at 1-toll-free telephone number-743-CNBC and ask Cramer about a specific stock. ==Features of the program== Some segments are #''The Lighting Round'' #''Am I Diversified?'' #''Beating the Racket'' #''Cramer vs Cramer'' #''First Aid'' #''Danger Zone'' #''Pick of the Week'' #''Crystal Ball'' #''The 401(k) Fix'' #''Attention Shoppers'' #''Mad Mail'', a segment in which Cramer answers e-mail questions sent to mailto:madmoney@cnbc.com #''The Week That Was'' #''Pick of the Week'' #''Chutes and Ladders'' Other features that make the show stand out are on-screen graphics that Cramer himself can show on the screen, and other noises like on radio. The effects are activated with buttons. The effects are: #graphic and sound of a pair of bellowing bulls #graphic and sound of a pair of roaring bears #a second pair of bears roaring louder than the first one #squeaking pigs #a screaming man falling out of a window and then crashing on the ground #a wrecking train #a train coming to a stop #an American football official calling, "Personal foul.

(see also Stuart Scott) #[That stock is] en fuego. (see also Dan Patrick) #Are you ready, ski daddy? It's the ''Lightning Round'' on Jim Cramer's ''Mad Money''. #You, me, let's try to make some money. #There's always a bull market somewhere, and I'm trying to find it just for you. #Go cry to your mother. #Wake up and smell the coffee/the hard prices. #Diversification is the only free lunch. #Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs/hogs get slaughtered. #I wish I'd own that company myself. #Uh–uh. [That stock's] not for me. #Best of breed. #Dive! Dive! Dive! === ''Boo-yah!'' catch phrase used by him and his listeners=== On Tuesday, 2005-05-24, a viewer asked Cramer by e-mail on ''Mad Money'''s ''Mad Mail'' segment what his ''boo-yah!'' catch phrase means, and Cramer replied he himself did not have a clue. On the next day, Wednesday, 2005-05-25, a viewer e-mailed him on his ''Mad Money'' program and said that Cramer's ''boo-yah!'' catch phrase is similar to the Booyah registered trademark of the Booyah Bait Company [http://www.booyahbaits.com], but Cramer answered that his phrase is not copied from that company nor from ''SportsCenter'''s Stuart Scott, and that he apologizes for any similarities, since his ''boo-yah!'' phrase means "Are you ready to make some money?". Cramer has since come up with a new phrase, "Are you ready, ski daddy? It's the ''Lightning Round'' on Jim Cramer's ''Mad Money''!" In June 2005, a viewer explained Cramer by e-mail the difference between a pig and a hog, which is a domesticated pig, so Cramer changed one of his catch phrases to "Bulls make money. Bears make money. Hogs get slaughtered.". Cramer's "en fuego" catch phrase also reminds of Dan Patrick's phrase. == See also == #''Squawk Box'' == References == #[http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CNBCTV/TV_Info/P108231.asp MSN Money - CNBC TV: Investing] Mad Money #[http://spaces.msn.com/members/squawkblog SquawkBlog] 2000s TV shows in the United States CNBC channel shows News television series Television talk shows Mad MoneySee other meanings of words starting from letter: MMA | MB | MC | MD | ME | MF | MG | MH | MI | MJ | MK | ML | MN | MO | MP | MR | MS | MT | MU | MW | MX | MY | MZ |Words begining with Mad_Money: Mad_Money Mad_Money |
